2014 week in photos #10

 

Such a weird season we have in Istanbul this year! We are waiting for spring impatiently but instead there are cold and rainy days.. Last week we had a little trip to IKEA and got some cool new things for our place- we just love staying in and enjoying our home so I don’t feel guilty investing to make it even better place :) We continue celebrating mornings and added salads to our daily menus. Free time is for relaxing, crafts, books and watching movies. Just good, old routine here! MY plans for next week? Go for few runs, clear up the wardrobe and make some pretty things in the evenings!

Dziwne mamy przedwiosnie w tym roku w Stambule.. Czekamy na slonce i cieplo a tymczasem deszcz, pochmurne klimaty i zimno za oknem, brrr… W zeszlym tygodniu wybralismy sie do IKEI po kilka nowych drobiazgow do naszego mieszkanka- to nasze ukochane miejsce pod sloncem i wcale nie czuje sie zle z kupowaniem gadzetow, ktore uczynia je jeszcze fajniejszym :) Poza tym nadal cieszymy sie porankami, pysznymi sniadaniami i brakiem chaosu i pospiechu. Dodalismy salatki do naszego codziennego menu- w ten sposob troche zaklinamy wiosne!:) Wolny czas mija na odpoczywaniu, craftowaniu, ogladaniu filmow- stara dobra rutyna, nikt na nia za bardzo nie narzeka :) Plany na ten tydzien? Dodanie wiosennego rozbiegania do moich codziennych cwiczen, porzadki w szafie i craftowe wieczory!:)

Last week of February is gone and we are in March! Wow, time flies by! Can you imagine last week we hit 3 years of living in Istanbul? I have seriously a bittersweet relationship with this city, sometimes I love it sometimes I have enough of it but in general it’s been a good 3 years. Not easy. But good for us! Not much to say, just another happy week- busy, filled with happiness and making the most of time we have!

Koniec lutego, witamy marzec! Kurczę, czas pędzi jak szalony! Sama nie wierzę, że w zeszłym tygodniu minęły 3 lata odkąd przenieśliśmy się do Stambułu… moja słodko-gorzka miłość do tego miasta kwitnie- czasem jest to raj na ziemi, czasem mam go po dziurki w nosie, mam ochotę zwijać manatki i przenieść się gdzieś gdzie będzie .. lepiej? tego nie wiem, ale pewnie łatwiej. Mimo wszystko to były dobre 3 lata. Nie jakieś super poukładane i często pod górkę, ale dobre dla nas! Co poza tym? Kolejny fajny tydzień, wypełniony pracą, dobrą energią i wykorzystywaniem do maksimum czasu, który mamy :)

Week in Photos #8

Last week we could feel spring in the air! I felt so grateful for every sunny morning which gave me energy and good mood for the rest of the day:) Our flowers around the home have opened and it smells so beautiful and fresh in every room! Work slowed down and got easier and it felt great- after few weeks of crazy it’s good just to have a moment to catch a breath, drink some tea and not rush from place to place. This week I’m going to focus on taking my 1 hour lunch break back- let’s see :) During the weekend I got to play with some goodies from Citrus Twist Kits (but hey… where is my mojo?), read some books and just relax… It’s all good! Spring is coming, energy is rising :) have a great week ahead!

W zeszłym tygodniu mogliśmy już nieco poczuć wiosnę- słoneczne poranki, ćwiczenia i spacery do pracy dały mi kopa dobrej energii :) Domowe hiacynty pootwierały się i nasze pokoje wypełnił najcudniejszy pod słońcem zapach :) W pracy też uspokoiło się nieco i po kilku tygodniach gonitwy i nie wyrabiania się z niczym na czas udało się trochę zwolnić, wypić herbatę do końca zanim wystygła i nie biegać z miejsca na miejsce. Plan na ten tydzień- odzykać przerwę na lunch :) trzymajcie kciuki :):) Weekend spędziliśmy trochę ze znajomymi, trochę w domu- pobawiłam się scrapowo z kitem z Citrus Twist Kits (chociaż moja wena gdzieś się ulotniła….); nadrobiłam trochę czytelniczych zaległosći i po prostu odpoczęłam- jest ok! Wiosna nadchodzi, słupek energii idzie do góry razem z temperaturą:) Wszystkiego naj na nowy tydzień!

Week in photos #6

Such a full and busy week! I continued with my commitment to early mornings and daily exercising and I can say I’m half way done with 30 days shred! I love the feeling which comes from happy and energetic start of the day :) I also comited to 2 smaller challenges- eating an apple a day and walking for 15 min before work every day- they were fun and brought a tiny bit of healthier balance to my daily routine! :) Apart of that- spring has sprung in İstanbul with lots of blossoms everywhere, Fab started a new job (and I decided to include his insta photos in this weekly collages too!),we had a busy week finished with great and relaxing weekend and hey yes I started baking my sourdough bread again!

Mała niespodzianka dla wszystkich czytających mnie po Polsku- po chwili namysłu postanowiłam powrócić do dwujęzycznych wpisów! Nie obiecuję, że dam radę tłumaczyć wszystko (część scrapowych wpisów nadal może pozostać tylko po ang), ale w miarę możliwości będę próbować:) 

Poranki były zdecydowanie najfajniejszą częścią dnia- uwielbiam te pobudki gdy dom jeszcze śpi, chwile spędzone na planowaniu i przy blogu oraz codzienny nawyk porannych ćwiczeń- połowa 30 days shred za mną! Udało mi się też skończyć 2 małe wyzwania z programu hello zdrowie (świetna strona i aplikacja na telefon!)- codzienne jabłko i codzienny 15 minutowy spacer przed pracą- niby nic ale mocno wierzę, że takie właśnie maleńkie zmiany przynoszą największe efekty! Poza tym w Stambule mamy chwilowe przebudzenie wiosny- jest pięknie! Fab zaczął nową pracę (a ja postanowiłam wrzucać też jego insta zdjęcia do tych cotygodniowych kolaży!), mamy za sobą zakręcony tydzień w pracy i super relaksujący weekend w domu! Aha no i reaktywowałam swój zakwas i wróciłam do pieczenia chleba! Cudowne uczucie i niech nikt mi nie mówi, że w Turcji się nie da :)

Week in Photos #6

 

Bye bye week 6 of 2014!

I enjoyed feeling the exercise mojo and it’s been a first week in my life when I was active for 7 days in a row! Doing shred in the mornings and walks and runs at the weekend felt so good! We also had some really beautiful sunshine this Saturday- spring is in the air! On the other hand work was a bit crazy and hectic but it seems all under control now… We also went to see CATS last Tuesday but well as much as I enjoyed being in the theater the show I watched so many times in Polish version was seriously so much better!

PS. I also had time to be creative! I’ve done few new layouts which I’m looking forward to sharing with you this week!

2014 Week in Photos #5

Hello and welcome to wrap up of my week #5!

It’s been my best week so far this year! And it makes me excited to make the next one even BETTER!

 

Last week on Sunday night I made a plan to wake up early and make most of my mornings- work on the blog, exercise, prepare a delicious breakfast- just enjoy these few hours. I wrote a little “start strong” note to myself and believe me or not- it kept me on track! It’s been the best, the most satisfying and productive week I’ve had recently :)

Have a lovely Sunday night and enjoy the next week!

Week in Photos week 3 and 4

Hello and happy Sunday! I’m here today to share a peek into 2 past weeks!

I finished all my travels last Monday! After few weeks of being away for most of the time it’s nice to be home and jump back into regular stuff, but seriously I miss Rome! I discovered so many beautiful places, small streets and lovely restaurants, ice cream shops and little hidden gems during my stay! The highlight of my travels was definitely sightseeing by run- it took me to many places which otherwise I probably wouldn’t see! I hope we will manage to visit this city again with Fab, this definitely goes on the dream list!

 

Last week was busy and full. I’ve had a blast at work which I haven’t felt for a while- I love more independent and more creative projects they give such an energy kick! But what I was truly waiting for was a weekend- there was time for lazy morning, time for creating, time for being together and time for running in the mud :) I just love weekends like this!

Week in Photos 2/2014

 

Hello and happy Monday! I’m sorry for a little lack of writing last week- I was away on another work trip, this time we visited Milan! Before that we enjoyed some evenings with Fab- we went to watch an amazing movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (so reccomended guys, it’s an amazing movie!) and we discovered a fun asian food place in Istanbul! In Milan apart of working I managed to squeeze in some time for running, taking photos and just enjoying the city- I love these free hours when I can just simply wonder around and discover! I’ll be definitely sharing more photos and thoughts about Italy later this month, after coming back from Rome!

Have a lovely and happy week!

Week in Photos 1

Hello and happy Sunday evening!

Here is my first post from Week in Photos series this year! It’s 3rd year of this series here and I’m looking forward to bringing it here with some little tweaks in 2014!

 

As I said many times before I love new beginnings! New year, new plans, new notebooks (like this lovely foxy one from my dear friend HappieScrappie!), new dreams and challenges- that keeps me going! I got some super positive energy and motivation after few days spent in London at the end of December (although it was a bussiness trip I did my best to enjoy! I squeezed in morning runs, I celebrated the moments, I inhaled the magic of this city which is and will be my number 1 and I hope one day dream come true!) and came to Istanbul ready to work hard in New Year! We had a good start into 2014 with lovely new Year’s Eve spent with family and super happy first weekend of the year! Normal is good. I love it!

Have a happy week ahead!
